The Law, State and Society Research Group focuses on the study of law from a critical and interdisciplinary perspective, it analyzes the current norms and its social, political and cultural implications.

We are part of a dynamic and collaborative academic community; we encourage interdisciplinary dialogue and interaction with several social stakeholders. We want to suggest changes in the judicial system, fight for equality and respond to society’s needs.
